“During my pregnancy, Dexcom CGM played a crucial role in controlling my glucose levels. The sensors gave me the ability to track changes in my glucose levels throughout the day, including at night. This was essential as pregnancy can affect my insulin sensitivity and cause changes in glucose levels. Thanks to Dexcom, I had a wonderful pregnancy and was able to enjoy all the moments associated with it.”

1st trimester

A spike in your hormones is common in the first trimester of pregnancy and this can send your glucose levels low. Dexcom CGM’s customisable alerts can warn you when your glucose is going high or low – for the unpredictable changes that pregnancy can bring.

2nd and 3rd trimester

This is when your levels start to stay on the higher side and gestational diabetes can develop. With a greater risk of hyperglycaemia, this is when your customisable high alert threshold becomes most valuable. The Clarity Card in the mobile app^† and receiver^|| helps make managing your diabetes data simple. Best of all, these readings can be sent to your healthcare provider through Dexcom Clarity,^†† and you can work hand in hand with them to develop a plan for when you go high.

Birth and beyond

Post pregnancy hormones will continue to influence your glucose levels. While you’ll already have enough to think about, Dexcom CGM provides flexibility with real-time readings on the go and a 12-hour grace period so you can swap your sensor when convenient for you (and your baby).
